Eagles acquire CB Jakorian Bennett from Raiders

The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles added depth to a solid secondary, acquiring cornerback Jakorian Bennett in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, multiple media outlets reported Monday night.

The Las Vegas Raiders reportedly received reserve defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV in the swap.

Bennett, 24, appeared in 10 games for Las Vegas last season, making seven stops. He finished with 26 tackles and eight passes defensed.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2023 out of Maryland, Bennett played in 14 games and started four times as a rookie. In his two seasons overall, he has 58 tackles and 11 passes defensed.

More on the Las Vegas Raiders-Philadelphia Eagles trade

Booker, 25, appeared in every regular-season game for Philadelphia last year, starting once. However, he was in on only 17 percent of the Eagles’ defensive plays and seven percent of the special teams snaps. He had 18 tackles, one sack and one pass defense.

The Texans made him a fifth-round pick out of Stanford in 2022. He appeared in 10 games (one start) for Houston that year — his lone NFL experience before 2024. For the Texans, he recorded 15 tackles, 0.5 sacks and one pass defensed.

The Eagles open the preseason on Thursday against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, then officially start defense of their title against the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4.

The Las Vegas Raiders start preseason play Thursday on the road against the Seattle Seahawks, then open the regular season on the road vs. the New England Patriots on Sept. 7.

First-year Las Vegas Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr., was carted off the field during Saturday’s practice at Allegiant Stadium with a broken fibula in his right leg, according to multiple reports on Sunday.

Lonnie Johnson, 29, will reportedly undergo an MRI exam to determine if there is any additional damage. Depending on the severity of the injury, including if surgery is required, recovery could range anywhere from 10 weeks to six months.

The six-year pro collided with defensive end Maxx Crosby while attempting to tackle running back Raheem Mostert.

A projected backup this season, Johnson was receiving first-team reps when the defense featured three safeties.

Lonnie Johnson agreed to a one-year deal with the Raiders during the offseason after spending three years with the Houston Texans (2019-21) and one each with the Tennessee Titans (2022), New Orleans Saints (2023) and Carolina Panthers (2024).
